Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much their Department spent on hospitality in (a) 2021, (b) 2022 and (c) 2023.

The Prime Minister’s Office is an integral part of the Cabinet Office and as such their data is included within the Cabinet Office data.

I refer the Honourable Member to PQ 191749. We do not routinely publish departmental wide hospitality data, as has been the case under successive administrations. All Business Units within the Cabinet Office have a responsibility to keep official hospitality costs as low as possible and demonstrate good value for money.

Details of ministerial and senior official hospitality are published on a quarterly basis, and are available on GOV.UK.
